Reintroduction thread!
My name is Soleil, and I'm a 33-year-old trans woman from Idaho. I have a religious (Mormon) background but am not really religious these days. I enjoy talking about mostly lefty politics and the most basic media criticism you've ever seen but really whatever's on my mind.

Apparently, Gavin Newsom is taunting Elon by saying his daughter hates him.
Gavin, shut the fuck up. You have a lot of apologizing to do to this community before you try to score points off of us. So keep our names out of your fucking mouth, you fucking piece of shit.

As a parent who has been a parent since the advent of ChatGPT, I also like to think that I'm entirely useless if I don't use ChatGPT instead of my intuition and the advice of people around me who have done the whole mom thing before me

breaking! gavin newsom continues his 58-year streak of being worthless
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The hopium in me hopes that the Democratic Party learns from Mamdani's victory that the rank and file of America do actually want a leftist populist candidate.
Of course I know better and this is just going to be another excuse for the Dems to move further right for some reason

I'm absolutely crushed and unfortunately unsurprised that this "ceasefire" was just performative. It was always a way for Trump and Netanyahu to look good while the status quo of senseless and remorseless killing continued.
BREAKING: At least 51 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza by Israeli attacks since the ceasefire came into effect less than two weeks ago, medical sources have told Al Jazeera.

Windows 10 is officially out of support, and I'm really curious about how well this is going to go over with society at large. Like, I know I've personally moved to Arch for everything but work, but moving to Linux is simply not an option for a lot of people.

A Bubsy 4D demo is out and it kinda rules. Between the surprisingly flowy controls, the silly storyline with a hint of seriousness due to the new role of the Woolies, and some genuinely excellent voice performances (including Sean Chiplock), I really think we're in for the first great Bubsy game.

He's happy to trample the homeless and trans people on his way to the top but it's okay because he made awful AI-generated memes mocking Trump, right?

And let’s not forget how we got here: people who didn’t vote for Kamala or sat out the election/were “uncommitted” feel this is an appropriate way to “punish the Dems” but all it’s doing is hurting extremely vulnerable people.

This is the exact case religious groups made when gay marriage was starting to get legalized around the country, and as we know now gay people have to be allowed to be temple married.
Except that *never ever happened, ever,* because religions have broad rights to exclude outgroups

This is so incredibly ugly. Every time I hear the words “religious freedom,” it’s code for let churches do whatever they want to inflict harm and stigma onto marginalized communities without fear of repercussions. So very very ugly. Shame on yourselves.
